Abstract

Electronic devices and methods of forming electronic devices with gate-all-around non-I/O devices and finlike structures for I/O devices are described. A plurality of dummy gates is etched to expose a fin comprising alternating layers of a first material and a second material. The second material layers are removed to create openings and the first material layers remaining are epitaxially grown to form a finlike structure.
